That is exactly what I think. If the team qualifies, it will then be a few weeks before the FIFA preparation money arrives which they probably would have in hand to pay a lump sum. I believe (not sure now) that Ghana or some other African team recently moved to this type of compensation plan i.e. away from match-to-match compensation.

...abi o. On CE, that lolly-pop guy will open threads left right and center about millions and millions stolen, recovered, hidden, found, this going everyday 365 days, yet all these thieves and their collaborators can't find it fit to channel that money for good use, sponsor the national teams.

...Nigeria is a grown country with men and women and should divorce herself from government help for something universally done in other countries by individuals. Task force, an avenue to steal more.

So what happens if we don't qualify?

Yeah, this could dent their believes or morale and et al. In addition, I am concerned of what such can cause to the players in general

If this report is accurate, the WCQ is in jeopardy...

icee is right:


Where are Pinnick's promises to introduce proper corporate organisation to the NFF? Why was Pinnick voted in?

When shall we ever resolve to do things the proper way?

Odas,

Usually, you get nothing except if you had negotiated a small appearance fee. Because it is a risk, it is likely that the 'negotiated' qualifying bonus should be significantly higher than the usual match-by-match bonuses while the 'appearance fee' should, logically, be significantly lower than the usual 'match-by-match' bonus in theory. That should be the more equitable compensation for risk in that situation. Hopefully, my guess is actually true. TBH, I have not read any of these. I am simply guessing on these issues.

why can't Dangote sponsor SE? He gets to monopolize sugar, cement, Rice, salt and gets to buy forex cheaper than the official rate. can we at least get him to pay for a coach? Maybe they should promise him half of the wc proceeds and all of Anc except flight tickets. Might that get him to front us some cash

...he'll rather put his money into an epl club, or attempt to. I no blame am, there things are done accordingly with profit in mind, here, egghead and co would rather chop and hold their hands out for more.

NFF have ample sponsors and indeed raise billions of naira through players' transfers, national teams sponsorship, match sales and CAF, FIFA competition remunerations. The federal government also doles out budgeted annual stipends to them. The question is: where does all these monies end up? The answer is: they end up in the deep pockets of the NFA chairman and his executives. Amos Adamu became one of the richest men in Nigeria when he was made the sole administrator of the NFA now NFF. Another very rich Nigerian is col Abdul Muminu Aminu, whose NFA administration also hosted Nigeria '99 world youth championship, a lavish affair jived up by the late head of state, General Sanni Abacha who is on record second to none other than, (only), oga patapata of the ole barawo, General Olusegun Obasanjo in the annals of Nigeria's supreme corruption kingpins. Corruption is the bane of the NFF same goes for all Nigerian institutions.

Do u know who sponsors them and how much they've received? I know the FG was owing 4 months salary as of march.

Eagles Star Clears The Air On Playing World Cup 2018 Qualifiers For Free
April 19, 2017
Nigeria

A senior player of the Super Eagles of Nigeria has reached out to the editor of this portal to speak on the reports of the players agreeing to play for free in the remaining World Cup 2018 qualifiers.

” Maybe your source didn’t explain to you in details. We had a meeting with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) in London. We agreed that the issue of match bonus won’t make us down tools during the World Cup qualifiers.

” We pleaded with the NFF that we won’t hold the nation to ransom over bonuses, but they on their part have to pay us when they have money, not that we will play for free.

” ‎Furthermore it was agreed that our bonus will be $5,000 for the 2019 Nations Cup qualifier against South Africa in June. So the issue of playing for free is a none starter”, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.
